Choose products that suit your hair color and highlight your most beautiful features, but don't overdo it. The aim would be to enhance one's natural beauty, not hide it.

- Choose a tinted moisturizer or light foundation.
- Apply a light coat of black or brown mascara.
- Apply a lip balm or tinted lip gloss.
- Don't overdo the eyeliner, or don't apply it at all. If you want to wear it, choose a brown or black one. Draw a thin line at the top and bottom lash line and blend it well.
- Choose a pearl or satin eyeshadow. Silver is ideal for those with fair skin, while champagne color is good for those with a dark complexion. Apply a veil on your mobile eyelids.
- Don't overdo the bronzer. If you want to have a healthier complexion and define your face, apply a veil.
- Don't overdo it with blush either. The cream one is ideal for giving a nice rosy color to the cheeks.

- Try to always have clean and combed hair. Make sure you go to the hairdresser every two to three months to freshen up your cut.

Method 3 of 3: Take Care of You Like a Model
Look Like a Model Step 15 Step 1. Remember that no one is perfect
Models have the advantage of being surrounded by makeup artists, hairdressers and stylists who help them to enhance themselves and be beautiful. Make-up artists devote hours to their faces, and sometimes even their bodies, before a fashion show.
Instead of striving for perfection, strive to stay fit. If you take care of yourself, your natural beauty will undoubtedly be more radiant
Look Like a Model Step 16 Step 2. Maintain your healthy weight
Being healthy is much more important than being thin. If you are concerned about weight, consult a dietician to find out how much you should weigh to stay healthy. Follow her recommendations to be as healthy as a fish and to properly care for the body.
Look Like a Model Step 17 Step 3. Eat healthy to take care of your body
Models' diets are quite variable and some are not healthy at all, so don't try to eat exactly like them. Instead, try to eat a diet that is as healthy as possible.
- Start the day with a healthy breakfast. Eggs, wholemeal bread, fruit, oats and yogurt are some of the many dishes recommended for a substantial and nutritious first meal.
- Eat different types of foods, especially fruits and vegetables. To absorb all the necessary nutrients and keep yourself healthy, consume plenty of fruits and vegetables. Try to eat at least one serving per meal. Also choose it when snacking.
- Choose lean proteins. Protein is important for good health, but you should go for ones that really benefit you. Avoid fatty meats, such as pork or beef. Instead, opt for leaner options, such as turkey and fish, which are also ideal because they contain omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for the heart.
- Choose whole grains. Stay away from processed foods, such as rice, flour, pasta, and refined bread. Instead, choose bread, pasta, rice, and whole wheat flour.

Good hydration is not only important for feeling good, but also for radiant skin. The amount of water you need to drink daily depends on your weight.
Calculate that you should drink 30-60ml of water per pound every day. If you weigh 72 kg, you should drink 2-4 liters of water per day
Look Like a Model Step 19 Step 5. Exercise to sculpt your body
To stay healthy and have a great physique, you need to exercise regularly. The US Department of Health and Human Services recommends 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week (such as walking) or 75 minutes of intense aerobic exercise (such as running) per week. This activity should be spread over the course of the week, not done all at once. You should also try to set aside two weekly strength training sessions to tone up.
Keep in mind that models typically train more than 150 minutes a week to have a stunning physique. Some male models also train 15 hours per week. Victoria's Secret models train five times a week to keep their bodies dry
Look Like a Model Step 20 Step 6. Consider a teeth whitening
Models have dazzling smiles, so be sure to brush your teeth, floss, and use mouthwash twice a day for a healthy mouth. If your teeth are not as white as you would like, you can try home whitening treatments, such as toothpastes, gels and special strips to achieve that modeling sheen.
To have healthy and beautiful teeth, it is also necessary to have them cleaned and checked by the dentist at least once a year. You should also make an appointment if you have any problems with your teeth or gums. Follow your dentist's recommendations for good oral hygiene
Look Like a Model Step 21 Step 7. Relax daily
The life of a model is stressful, so it is important to practice relaxation techniques to maintain a good balance. It is normal to have a little stress, among other things it can be useful to motivate you. However, excessive tension is harmful to health and can also adversely affect the image. Make time for yourself. Meditate, do yoga, or take a relaxing bath. The important thing is to have some time for yourself every day.
Advice
- The models have a bearing that denotes self-esteem, but not boldness. Don't be too self-centered. Remember to be kind to others and let your inner beauty shine through as well.
- Don't get too stressed out by your appearance. Remember that loving yourself is more important than getting others' approval. If you love yourself, it will be easier to work towards your goals.
- If you are truly planning on becoming a model, then you may want to invest in a specific course. You will learn a lot from these lessons, then you will also build relationships with teachers, usually former professional models, and with other novice people. Just make sure the agency has a license, so you don't waste money.
- When you go to a photo shoot, make sure you are accompanied by a parent, boyfriend or friend. Never agree to do something that makes you uncomfortable.
Warning
- Beware of scam agencies, which usually ask for an advance payment. If you don't have the money to fund a course, there are many books, TV shows, and mentors that will help you.
- Both women and men can easily become obsessed with weight loss, which results in eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia, among others. Keep in mind that health comes first, staying fit doesn't mean being so thin that you risk disappearing.
- Do not go to the auditions posted in the job postings section of the newspaper. Instead, start contacting legitimate agencies and go to open call days. If you have the right characteristics for the market, they will call you back.
